I recently told this story to a 4th grade class for school and they really got into it. I would recommend this book for your little tyke. It is a fun and interactive book with a Halloween twist. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did and spread it around so everyone’s kids can have a fun time.

This is a darling book. The little dog dreams of being something terrifying for Halloween, but to his horror, his well meaning mother makes him a hot dog costume, complete with mustard. The other dogs make fun of poor Oscar the book is full of wiener jokes until Oscar and his ridiculous costume save the day. I put this book on my top ten list for the kindergarten crowd.

Poor Oscar Myer wiener dog a hotdog dog gets teased all the time. The bully dogs are always laughing at him because of his size and shape. For Halloween, Oscar’s mom buys him a costume that is a hotdog roll with mustard on it. Oscar is so embarrassed, but wears it to avoid hurting his mothers feelings. Oscar gets laughed at once again but the story twists to allow Oscar a chance to be a hero. Oscar wins the respect of the bullies and they all share their Halloween dog treats with him. Silly story with decent, basic illustrations.
An adorable book that my preschool children want to hear again and again. This is a standard book in my preschool during the month of October.

It is so funny with a lesson to boot!
